FISCAL IMPACT:

$635,193: The contract is funded 100% with AB 109 Public Safety Realignment revenue.

BACKGROUND:

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On January 13, 2017 the Community Corrections Partnership (CCP) Executive Committee approved a FY 2017-18 AB 109 Public Safety Realignment Budget for recommendation to the Board of Supervisors. The Recommended Budget included $4,867,201 for "AB 109 Community Programs." On May 5, 2017 the CCP authorized $75,000 of carry-forward funds from FY 2016-17 to FY 2017-18 to support implementation of a shared data system to be used by reentry service providers in each region of the County.

On June 20, 2017 the Board of Supervisors authorized $4,210,000 of the "Community Programs" revenue for the renewal of contracts with existing service providers who were awarded contracts through various RFP/Q processes in 2016 and were performing satisfactorily.

To comply with County policy regarding multi-year contracts and the requirement to undertake regular procurement processes, on May, 25, 2017, the Office of Reentry & Justice (ORJ) conducted a Request for Interest (RFI) process for the balance of the AB 109 Community Program contracts that had not been rebid for three years. Contracts for the Central-East County Reentry Network services were offered at up to $185,000 (RFI # 1705-223). The contract for the establishment and operation of the West County Reentry Resource Center (presently known as the "Reentry Success Center") was offered at up to $540,000 (RFI # 1705-224). Multiple organizations expressed interest in providing the services outlined in the RFIs and met the minimum qualifications for the provision of reentry services. The ORJ will now seek more detailed proposals from the interested agencies through an RFP process.

Subsequent to the review of the proposals to establish and operate a West County Reentry Resource Center and after recommendation and approval of the Center operator, the ORJ will develop a contract with the successful applicant for the period of October 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018. Until the ORJ completes this solicitation and selection process, the contract with Rubicon Programs, Inc., the current contractor, will be amended and extended for three months. The ORJ will apply $131,250 of the FY 2017-18 allocation for the Center operation to increase the payment limit of the current contract with Rubicon Programs, and extend the term through September 30, 2017, in order to continue services until a new contract is awarded.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Support Services for AB 109 reentry residents will not be available in West County.
